Michael Anders

Name: Michael Anders

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Grade: 12th

School: Southridge High School

Hobbies and Interests: Video games, books/manga, most forms of music, marine life (as in, the water), and technology. No clubs, for reasons to follow.

Appearance: Albino (that's white skin, white hair, blue eyes). Height is around 5'6, weight around 168 pounds. The hair is, of course, all natural. His hair is messy in the sense that he doesn't believe in hair gel, combing/brushing, or mouse. He usually wears gold-rimmed bifocals with transition lenses (so that no one can see the line between the lenses). He wears a gold-chain necklace with Jesus hanging off it, as well as a gold ring with the cross on his right hand. He likes the bare essentials, so he wears cheap but comfortable clothes. In particular, the day they were recruited, as it were, he wore a red shirt with the Nike logo on it, and blue cargo pants for those extra pockets. He also wears black-and-white tennis shoes with the New Balance logo on the back of them. He tops it all off with a blue cap to protect his head from the heat.

Biography: Michael Anders has led a normal life. He came from a relatively happy family, with strict-but-fair parents, both of whom pressured him to excel in school. As such, he's mostly done well. Were it not for the fact that he was a bit lazy, he would've made it into the National Honor Society for sure.

He receives a fair amount of flak from his relatives for that, but he doesn't really care about any of that.

He's a quiet person, and not very social. That's not to say he's antisocial, because he does have friends. But he doesn't like to initiate conversations unless it is absolutely required of him to do so. However, he prefers being a follower and not a leader. He's much rather work behind the scenes.

That being said, he's a team player. The main reason he dislikes leading is because he doesn't want the responsibility of leading others for fear of leading them astray. In a team, he'll slightly break out of his quiet shell and work hard to get his part done and help his teammates get theirs done.

When it comes to other people, he's generally helpful and attentive, and will usually go out of his way to help if they need it, even if he doesn't know them. However, he would need to be approached first, since he won't usually approach people unless they are a friend of his.

He doesn't like people who think they're better than everyone else, or jerks in general. He doesn't appreciate people acting cold toward other people and/or their problems. Also, he forms opinions in his head of people he sees as he watches them go by, based on how they act. He keeps them to himself, for obvious reasons, but sometimes its obvious with the way his eyes dart from person to person, trying to decide who he can trust and who he can't.

It takes a while for Anders to warm up to some people, but once he does, he'll start trusting them. However, if that trust is broken, he'll remember it, and his trust isn't easily gained back.

Advantages: Being an albino, he is legally blind and nearsighted. As such, he usually sees things others would miss since he has to get up close to see them. He also likes to make the use of the environment to create mental landmarks to prevent getting lost, or to remember where important things were located. And being nearsighted, his other senses make up for the lack in vision. Not to the point of being superhuman, but they're somewhat better then normal people's. He likes thinking rationally and tries to plan out his moves, as well.

Disadvantages: Being an albino, he is legally blind and nearsighted. As such, he can't see that far off, and will usually miss things others can see. He can make contrast very well though, so he knows that something's there. But if there's text, he won't be able to read it unless it's very large. And, of course, there is also the issue of the sun and the fact that he turns beet red if exposed for more then 10 minutes. So he likes, or has to, to stay in indoor or very shaded areas.

Conclusion: *sigh* We've got too many kids on this roster. I'm tired of writing conclusions. Instead, I'll give him an "F". For fail.
